I know, I know, shrimp and grits sounds disgusting. Really. Truly. Gross. Grits are breakfast, right? Well, they are if you're Southern. And if you are not Southern, then, gosh, I'm sorry. Better luck in your next life.

OK, apologies to my Yankee nieces and nephews. But since you are only one generation removed, and 75% of you have moved South, then we will let it slide. I love you anyway. Even if you talk funny.

So try this. It is fabbity-fab-fab, I swear. On my hamster's life. A word of caution: with the pepperjack cheese and the canned tomato/green chile combo, this is spicy. I use 1/2 as much pepperjack as the recipe calls for and Monterey Jack for the other half. And I use mild Rotel.

Here we have two examples of a rare species usually only seen in south Flordia during a brief week in April. Yes, they are the winterus overus verywhiteus flying boys. Notice that one is of the subspieces teenus needus ahaircutus.

The water was warm and clear enough that I even got in. And the (heated) pool was a divine 87 degrees. And the weather? Perfect.
